US-listed New Fortress Energy has bought two Seadrill drillships to convert into floating LNG (FLNG) production units under its Fast LNG concept.

Speaking on a fourth-quarter results call company chairman and chief executive Wes Edens revealed that the company is buying “two Sevan deepwater drillships” which he said would be great for deep and shallow water applications due to their big deck space and ability to handle heavy loads.
